− | :Her first remodel reclassifies her as a ''Torpedo Cruiser'' (CLT), meaning she will not be counted as a light cruiser for combined fleet, map routing, and the like.
| + | ===Fit Bonuses=== |
− | :In exchange for this, her Torpedo stat goes up and she can now be loaded with midget submarines, allowing her to perform submarine-like preemptive torpedo attacks, meaning she gets to hit the enemy fleet before shelling begins, potentially removing an abyssal ship instantly.
| + | {{/Equipment Bonuses}} |
− | :Do note that she can't perform anything but basic attacks in night battle at this stage, since she has only two slots and the midget submarine does not count as a torpedo.

| |
− | | |
− | :Remodeled again, "super Kitakami-sama" really gets to shine now.
| |
− | :Getting a third slot means she's now a force to be reckoned with in night battle too, and a stellar 139 Torpedo stat makes her opening torpedo much more lethal.
| |
− | :Her base Luck of 30 even allows for half-reliable but extremely powerful cut-in attacks at night if desired, albeit experienced admirals can definitely invest to increase her Luck further.
| |
− | :On top of this, her ASW stat goes up too, meaning that at high levels she can perform both OASW and opening torpedo. Oh, and she comes with a [[61cm Quint (Oxygen) Torpedo Mount]] too.

− | :What's there not to like?
